Noice!
Talking about stress to the plastic, this is a very good video. However, one tip from me, the pliers should not be held with the flat side towards the mini, but away, because the flat side will pull on the material. They’re actually counter-intuitive and you should cut with the non-flat side towards the miniature parts and then use a knife, tiny saw (there are foto edged blades for standard hobby knife grips) and file to get that off.
I know what you mean, but I never cut flush to the miniature anyway, the pliers are only there to remove the bulk and then I shave the rest down afterwards. But a good point I forgot to make in the video
It’s still a very good video and tbh I forget it all the time as well ^^
A great video @avernos especially thin panels/doors they snap if you try to straiten them if they are not warm.
Some good points. The biggest one I took from this is the heating them up to take off gates/flash. I have a lot of Kickstarter Resin Minis and I have completely broken a few of them (fixed of course but what a pain). I didn’t think about heating them up to clean that stuff off.
thanks
Great Gerry Can @avernos and some very useful tips there.
Quick question though, who makes those objective markers as I want them for TWD
Mantic, but it was from the show exclusive in 2017 I think, maybe 2018. a few years ago at least..
Just checked 2019. Keep an eye when Mantic do sales they sometimes reappear.
I cant believe I missed them but will check out for them
Great tips on ‘sympathetic’ handling of resin. Thanks Gerry.
I though I was alright with resin but I learned stuff here!
ooh that’s nice 🙂
heating is a great tip, thanks.
